A week or so ago a heavy se!,
light complexioned,heavy mustached
gentleman got off the Cherokee train
nnd registered at rho St. James, “P.
Neel, Louisville, Ky.” He immedi
ately commenced an active canvass
"f the city for the Hall safe company.
He seemed particularly desirous of
selling the county and city safes and
his stay whs prolonged here to await
he meetings of the city council last
Monday and the Superior Court of
next month. His genial social qual
i ies and conversa ion evidencing a
welNinformed mind, together with
his handsome, imposing appearance
served to make him a person of con
siderable interest in the community.
He spent his money freely and seem
* and always alert in the interest of his
house. Tuesday night there arrived
•in town 9 small built, dark-complex
ioned gentleman who inquired when
fhe train would leave for Cedartown.
He was informed not until the next
day. He then asked for a convey
ance to Cedartown from our livery
but as the weather was
stormy and threatening our livery
men declined to let their teams out.
He immediately registered at the
St. James “Jas- E. Edwards, St.
Louis,” and several minutes engaged
himself in turning the leaves of the
register. He went into the dining
ootn for supper and took a s-eat op
l a‘Site Mr. P. Neel, a conversation
was immediately struck up between
(he gentlemen and was continued
until 12 o’clock at night in Mr. Neel’s
room. At that hour Capt. Wdkerson,
our marshal, was summoned to Mr.
Neel’s room. There “Mr. Edwards”
told him he had a prisoner and
warded some assistance. “Mu Ed
wards” was disrobing for bed as was
Mr. Neel. “Mr. Edwards” pro
duced a pair of handcuffs and put one
manacle around the ankle of Mr.
N< el and the other around his own,
gave Capt. Wilkerson the key to
the “euffV’ ami his pistol, asked the
Captain to loaf around the premises
until day, and as he and his prisoner,
chained together, got between the
clean sheets of the St. James, he
wafted a sweet “good night” to the
receding Captain, who, per instruc
tions. kept faithful vigil, through
out the remainder of the night.
Of course this procedure could not
he kept quiet in Cartersville and our
town was greatly startled in the
morning by the report that Mr. Neel,
of the Hall safe company, had
arrested the night before by a deiec
live. Those who visited the St.
James during the morning son 1 saw
that the report was true and many
were the attempts made to find out
The particulars. Mr. Neel was very
desirous that the matter should be
kept quiet and nut his m st intimate
acquaintances here would he disclose
the cause of his arrest. Of course the
shrewd detective, “Mr. Edwards,”
was like a sphynx.
By a simple twist of the wrist an
Express reporter snatched a shun
interview with “Mr. Edwards.” The
story is a short one:
Mr. P. Neel, was, a year and a
half ago, the secretary of a
building and loan association
in San Antonio, Texas. His accounts
fell short $15,000 His bond was
$2,500, which ke forfeited and ‘kipped
tne couulry. An indictment was
found ana “Mr. Edwards” put on
the trail. He captured his game as
above related, which was a? clever
and bune*3 lilce- h* any detective

A Marriage in Griffin.
The reason we copy into our col
umus the following account of a bril
liant wedding is because the bride
has by several visits to Cartersville,
made many friends who will peruse
ihe account with an interest that such
an important event in ttu life of one
so truly amiable is sure to elicit:
We co >y the following from the
Griffin News:
The Methodist church, upon which
ihe skill of the artisan has been em
ployed for several weeks, was thrown
open last evening for the first time
since it was closed. The interior was
unexpectedly beautiful, and seemed
to be in fitting unison with the oc
casion which it was to grace. The
evergreen arch and floral ball in
front of the altar indicated ihe occa
sion.
As the organ pealed forth the wed
ding march the bridal party moved
up the right,aisle iu the following or
der:
Ushers—J. W Little, Wm. M
Mitchel, J. J. Hunt, W. J. Kincaid.
ATTENDANTS.
C. A. Niles, Miss Sallie Parrott.
Frank Haralson, Miss Emma
Johnson
B R. Blakely, Miss Carrie West
moreland.
James S. Boyuton, Miss Annie
Trammell.
R. W. Trammell, Miss Pauline
Johnson.
Frank Holland, Miss Rosalind
Trammell.
The attendants took their places to
'he right and left of the altar, and
were followed by Charles R John
son, the groom, with Mrs. Parrott, of
Cartersville, the aunt of the bride,
and Col. W, T. Trammell supporting
his daughter, th* bride, Miss Missie
Trammell.
The ceremony was performed by
Dr. Kendall, who used the beautifu!
service of the Episcopal church.
As the minister asked “Who giv
eth this woman?” Col. Trammell
led the fair bride to her future hus
band, the ring was placed upon her
finger, and they were solmniy pr -
bounced “Husband and Wife.” The
ceremony was beautiful and impress
ive.
After the ceremony, the bridal par
reversing the order in which they
entered, left the church and proceed
ed to the residence of the bride’s fa
ther, corner Bth and Poplar streets.
The bride wore a most elegant and
rich white satin, with the bridal veil
and looked fairer that, a picture. She
bore herself with that womanly ease
*nd grace which is only one of her
many attractions. The bridesmaid
were elegantly and exquisitely dr- s
d, and were living, moving person
■fications of grace and beauty. Fair
er bride attended by fairer brid—-
maids has never been seen in Griffin.
The presents were numerous and
cosily, many of tin m exquisite in <ie
oign aud richness. Their number wa
in great that we fe*r to attempt an;,
description of them, but th-*y iu
measure, served to iudic.te the waim
friendship and esteem which so
of our people entertain for the happ.s
ywuog couple.—These, too, were sup
plemeuted by the hearty congra* mu
ttons of a host of invited friends whon
warm good wisnes win foil *w id*
happy pair through life.
The sumptuoas wedding feast wa
perfect in all its details, aud hardly
less eharmiug to the eye, than it wn
teuipting and pleasant to the inner
man.
The groom is a young gentlman
who stands deservedly high in our
community, who has filled faithfully
uud saiisfactoriaily many offices of
public trust in this city, wlv.s- brb
liant talents and legal ability have
placed him in the first rank of the
Griffin bar, and whose talents and
marked intellectual force will, if we
mistake not, win him a higher fame
and position in the imidistant iuture.
The bride is the oldest daughter of
our distinguished citizen, Cos . VV. i\
Trammed. With her menial worth,
her nubility of character, aud a rich
fulness of womanly sweetness and
grace, she is fi ted to make h m hap
py, and will be a crown of joy to trim
whom site has promised to obey,
tserve, 1 *ve, honor and ke p, iu .sick
ness and in death, and who is ,-j! dged
to love, c.unfurl, honor and keep her
iu sickims* and iu health.
The News begs leave to tender its
congratulations, and to express the
wish that tliis union, *0 auspicious! y
oegiu , may b** •* hap. y one, ina. ko f
mr u.'- r.tie, and m< m cm a'a ily
inr -ugo life, aud that their days may
be long in the land.
To the Public.
At the late session of the Baptist
Convention of the state of Georgia,
the undersigned Were appointed to
comajunicate in the name of that
Ijody with all friends of faw and goi>d
morals, in the state, in reference to a
m dter of the gravest moment, and
which Vitaliy affects the interests of
common country.
In the name of the Convention of
Baptists, and in behalf f our hone s,
our country and our God, we address
you. That the sc pe and it.tent of or
appointment may lu mote clearly un
derstood. we beg to lay before the fol
lowing preamble and resolution unan
imously adopted by the convention :
“It is with pleasure that we learn
that many communities are striving
to rid tnemselvi s of the evils that re
sult from the nefarious liquor traffic,
‘-Vila which spring trom iiu manufac
ture, sale and use of strong drink—to
all such communities we say, ‘God
speed you in your noble endeavor.’
“But recogn Zing ihe appalling
magnitude of mis curse, and feeling
the need of c’-operation to insure
universal and permanent success in
removing it, and believing it to be a
duly to throw the W'hole moral influ
ence of this Convention in favor of
the suppression of tne liquor traffic,
therefore
“Resolved, That a commission of
five brethren be appointed who shall
put themselves in communication by
an address through the press, and by
such other means as they may deem
best, with our baptist brethren
throughout the state, and with all
Christian peopk throughout the state,
and with all good citizens of the
state, with a view to the accomplish
ment of a result so earnestly dt sired.”
In discharging the duty thus im
posed upon us, we would not for a
moment presume to dictate the pre
cise line of action to be Hdopted by
you for the attainmentof the end con
templated. Whether reliance shall
still be placed in the efficacy of moral
suasion, or whether tne local option
la A’ shall be made more extended in
its operations, or whether the moral
sens * of the good and tri.n men of the
state shall find expression in more
stringent legislative enactments, ate
left by us as questions to lie decided
by your own enlightened judgment.
But we beg you, as loversoi peace, as
conservators of morality, as friends of
suffering humanity, to do something,
and to do it promptly. May G<d di
rect you in your counsels.
Respectfully,
